Tenders so hot it burned through the top
Jenny C.

Ordered cowboy chicken through DoorDash, and the chicken tenders were so hot they melted through the top of the container. We had to cut away the chicken that had been touching the melted Styrofoam. The chicken enchiladas were very good.

Haven't been for a few years. Did not disappoint! Chicken was tender, side dishes flavorful. Service was friendly, quick and of course with a smile. No chickens in the fire pit but still loved the sight. The menu has changed a bit but still good. Glad we made the drive here

Yelp 100 Challenge 2023 #41 Delicious chicken in various sizes and meals, and they now offer fried tenders. Cowboy chicken has been good every time I have ordered and I enjoy their side salad and twice bakes casserole. Try any menu item, just be sure with fries or okras to ask for no salt because regular they were a bit salty. All in all 5 out of 5 stars.

Ketcher's service was world class. (my bad if i spelled his name wrong) 1. He recommended me the most delicious chicken I have ever had 2. He guided me through the extravagant menu to make my decision on what my heart truly desired. 3. He acted like real friend and wasn't afraid to let me know the sauces I asked for might not be the best option in the politest way. He said Buffalo and BBQ is definitely the move for my chicken vs balsamic and chili lime-- he was so right. 4. He was so kind. GIVE ME BOY A RAISE NOW The biggest crime I will ever experience is if they don't give ketcher a raise because he deserves more than anyone I have ever met. THE FOOD IS SO GOOD TOO GREAT SERVICE SUPER CLEAN GREAT LOCATION

Size and how little meat was on it

The service was abysmal the last and final time we went. Placed a pickup order for the tenders and wings dinner and the crispy drumsticks. The crispy drumsticks were actually drumettes. Ive eaten enough chicken in my life to know the difference, but when we took the food back in, the manager shrugged and said they were legs, not drumettes. They were literally as big as my thumb.

First time at Cowboy Chicken! The place has more of a fast food vibe than a place like Babes Chicken Dinner House. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. To the plus side, the roasted chicken was tender and delicious, and their Mac and cheese was very cheesy and flavorful. The pieces of chicken I got were a little on the small side - bigger, meatier drumsticks available at Wingbucket. The Mexican street corn was a little spicier than I would've wanted, but it was still pretty good. We'll be back again sometime.....

Pretty good for a quick meal! Haven't been in a few years now but went recently and overall I enjoyed it. They had a great lunch deal for $10 (chicken + 2 sides + roll + drink). The chicken was a little dry but overall good.

Thiago is so friendly and helpful. We live the chicken. Always juiced and flavorful. And can't beat the choice of side.

We went here for breakfast on a Sunday. We arrived about 9:30am and the place was empty…read more The interior is very well laid out and attractive. There is ample space between tables so you don't feel cramped. There are TVs on the walls but it does not feel like a typical sports bar. The vibe is upscale and the restaurant was very clean. We started with the homemade biscuits and they were excellent. The proceeds go to charity so placing this order was no-brainer. The biscuits were light and airy, not dense at all. The jam and butter were the perfect accompaniment. Those biscuits are winners! Everyone should order and help the charity. I had the spicy chicken and waffles and it was excellent. The chicken was indeed spicy but the honey helped cool me off. The chicken was tender, the waffle was light but could have been hotter. If you order this dish, you will need a glass or two of cold ice water! The wife had shakshura and loved it. She got some toast on the side for dipping. The grits on the bottom were perfectly cooked. Her only complaint was the egg was supposed to be runny and it was firm. The kid had sweet potato pancakes but ended up filling up on the biscuits. Overall, food was 5 star and really enjoyable. The prices are very reasonable. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that our server, who was pleasant enough, was not very efficient. I am not sure what the problem was but her head was in the clouds. We would ask for something, she would say ok, and then she would disappear and forget to bring what we asked for. This happened more than once, more than twice, and maybe three times. It became a running joke at our table, what would the waitress forget this time? Other than spotty service, we liked this restaurant very much and we definitely would return if we are the Star District again.

We came in for a midday lunch with a group of seven, and there were only a couple of other people…read morein the entire restaurant, so needless to say, it wasn't busy. Unfortunately, the service was underwhelming. Our waitress seemed very unenthusiastic and had a pretty "blah" attitude throughout the meal. We had to ask for water refills twice, and they still never came. One of our guests ordered chicken, and after waiting more than 40 minutes, we were told that it would take much longer. They ultimately never received their food, so we had to take it to go at the end. The food itself was also disappointing. The chicken was very underseasoned, although the batter was really well done. The mashed potatoes were particularly unappetizing and tasted almost like they were made with sink water. Overall, the quality of the food just wasn't there. I'd give the food 1/5 and the service 2-2.5/5. Unfortunately, not impressed and wouldn't be in a rush to return.

Absolutely exceptional experience at Haywire in Plano! From the food to the atmosphere, everything…read morewas fantastic, but our waiter, Marcus, truly made the experience stand out. He was phenomenal! He had the perfect sense of humor, was witty and quick with a joke, and knew exactly how to keep the conversation going. He was also incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. His personality and service made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I started with the fried green tomatoes, which were delicious. For my main course, I ordered the steak and eggs from the brunch menu, and everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was exactly how I ordered it, and the eggs were great. we went upstairs to the third-floor rooftop to drink our dessert! I had the espresso martini, and it was fantastic. The rooftop has great views and is such a fun way to end the meal. Overall, Haywire exceeded expectations. Great food, great atmosphere, an awesome rooftop, and phenomenal service. Marcus deserves a special shoutout because he absolutely made our visit memorable. We will definitely be back!

Loved everything about this place…read more Except, sitting by the window on the 2nd floor. The reflection off the white wall was blinding. Y'all need blinds or something. I was unable to visit with those across from me because of the reflection. The food and the service were fantastic! I did have to ask for ketchup that did not have the additional strong, smoky flavor added to it. Can't figure out why y'all needed to change the taste of basic ketchup. The fries are freaking fantastic!! Our group was able to enjoy the cowgirl option!! The 5 ounce steak was amazing. The appetizers are fantastic! The cheese board, pork belly bites, and friend green tomatoes are delicious! The double cheeseburger is served with the best fries I've ever had. The drinks are really good! Lemon drop martini, old fashioned, Texas tea, and the $7 Happy Hour drinks are the best! This place is a busy place. We made reservations, however, I'm not sure if you have to have them to eat here.
